Actually, yes there was, and it's why I've stuck with WP from my Apple IIc to date (although
I'm in the process of switching over to Nisus Writer, since WP appears to be my last Classic-
dependent app anyway and now that I've got one of the last PPC Minis I'm looking towards
*his* eventual successor having to be Intel someday). Talk about brand loyalty, eh? ;) I wish I
could recall more about the user experience for you, darn it...

It's confusing, but not as bad in practice:
1) If you want to use it in a Classic Application, it has to be in
System Folder| Fonts. Equally, it has to be a Mac Font. In OSX,
Windows fonts work, too.
2) Don't do anything with the folder System| Library| Fonts. Leave it alone.
3) If you are the only user of your Mac, whether you use Library|
Fonts or ~| Library| Fonts is irrelevant. If you share it, fonts in
your Home Folder Library are only available to you.
4) In practice, WP has a very limited set of fonts while I have over
400 available under OSX applications spread around all four font
folders.
